Busy week for the Gorillamen, so we'll get right to it. This time around, we talk about self teaching...specifically:
- When did you first learn about self-teaching?
- What's the first thing you taught yourself?
- What are a few self-taught things you feel you do well?
- Most self taught things are still shaped by books and other things. Is there something you've done that you truly taught yourself? (i.e. You did something new with no idea at all of how to do it?)
- What are the advantages of being self-taught?
- What are disadvantages of being self-taught?
- Who are some of the coolest self-taught people you know?
- How has the Internet changed being self-taught?
- Is there still something to be said for traditional learning vs. self-taught learning?
- Do you think the confidence that comes with being self-taught can lead to over confidence and not actually learning as much as someone who is taught more traditionally?
- What would you tell someone who thinks they need to learn traditionally or who lacks the discipline to teach themselves something new?
- What's the future of being self-taught?
